This is a heads-up about planned work on weather.gov. Brief interruptions are expected during the work window rather than something having gone wrong.

Weather.gov is the public NWS website.

For most people this is invisible — forecasts keep coming. It matters most to anyone pulling NWS data directly, and to forecasters who lean on the affected feed.
